Poor journos, they don't get bored writing crap do they?

Russell….give it up will you .
You sound ridiculous .

Yeah keep Farah but don't play him :crazy , what sort of value is that to the side ? To prove what ?

Taylor has pooped himself since trying to play hard ball...but didn't think things through if not all this mess that has eventuated would of not happened , if Farah wasn't threatened or embarrassed in playing Reserve Grade ? maybe a different approach would of been taken by Farah and his Manager.

Taylor did say last week that Farah would be in the Round 1 side , a big change of heart from you will be playing in Reserve Grade if your hear and adding the Ballin signing to reinforce your intentions.

You gotta stop hate for JT.

If you think it is a good deal to pay Farah $950,000 to play for someone else you are kidding yourself.

If he stays - what do you do with him? Remembering why the Club wanted to get rid of him in the first place. RESERVE GRADE from me. You can please yourself after believing all the Farah/Ayoub spin.

Umm don't hate JT, he ain't a Coach and never will be….sorry for hurting your feelings.

Show me any of my post that I have said Farah would be a good deal to play for someone and we pay him $950,000 to do so? :crazy.

You tell me of my hate for JT :laughing: but you want to keep Farah and play him in Reserve Grade, give up your hate.

Enjoy your JT poster :laughing:

Don't worry Russell , your right

FT is just jibbering again

Once we start winning games he will switch his tune

They don't get bored because people still eat it up. Look at some of the rubbish that some have swallowed up in this thread.

Its news worthy stuff an absolute circus. We have to cop it on the chin media pick weak targets that are incompetent. The media barrage is because of the NRL appointed so called independent directors and chairperson who, have done a terrible job. The handling of this is a farce as was the hiring of JT.

 

[glebe_tiger]

With recent news of impending job cuts at Murdoch papers one can only hope some of the usual hacks like slothfield and bourbon get the sack.

As for foxsports, they just keep on keeping on.

The irony if those two hacks getting the chop so news could afford to pay for nrl coverage on fox.

They should get rid of Bourbon Bec before Captain Pancreatitis.

At least Slothfield pretends to like soccer. Bec is an AFL apologist and poison.

That would make an awesome headline…please don't give them ideas...

I've stayed with this thread for so long. I'm starting though to have had enough. I reckon we will get 300 pages easy.

To me the most startling development is the CEO does not seem to be on the same page as Taylor and the board. My gut feeling is he is putting the brakes on the Farah exit because the negatives of it out weigh the positives for the club by a long way. That could spell bad news for Taylor.

If I were Pascoe id be pulling them in and putting the comprimise on the table. Farah remains a first grade player without the captaincy and we look at a 2016 swan song. 2017 would only be on the table if he gave up Origin otherwise we try and find a good deal in England for Robbie. Taylor is told to mould new leaders and Robbie to fall in to line behind them.

If Taylor cant deal with that, I would punt him right now. He will be gone by years end anyway I don't see him turning it around.

I still can't believe that with all that is going on and all the leaked stories rumours and innuendo how people can still view Farah as the clubs little battler and club legend

Make no bones about it , he and Ayoub are trying to do everything in the power to destroy the WT's and at a critical time in our existence as a club

People need to pull their heads out of the sand and wherever else they have their heads shoved and start realizing that Robbie is and hasn't been an innocent little angel off field for a very long time

Your entitled to you opinion I am entitled to mine. Farah is not without his faults, but for mine his faults are he has cared too much about the club and let emotion dictate at times.

Go see the quotes from Aaron Woods and Dene Halatau, Chris Lawrence, James Tedesco, Luke Brooks their opinion on Robbie and what he brings to the joint? Ill take that more on board then internet fans who claim he is trying "to destroy the joint"

Ill stick loyal with Farah until the end because I believe on the field he has been a pillar of excellence for close to a decade.

Your view is the opposite and good for you.

Yep x2 Eddie.

The only thing i see is that Farah would be better served elsewhere…..he deserves better but no one has the Cap room to accomadate him by the sound of it , so it looks like he will be here next year and the Drama will continue next year ( the blaming game ).......can't wait. :unamused:

 

[Knuckles]

Geo, you must have missed my reply on page 245 to your page 250 comment - I still believe 350 by Xmas is a goer.

No I didn't miss it diedpretty…350 by Xmas is a no brainer that is 31 days away...the projection was for when his new club was named...that was smashed raised to 275 again achieved....lets go 300...?

Although the pace had slowed a little....someone should contact Sheens for his take.. :wink:

You may find up to 80% of posts are from 20% of those who have contributed !

50% of the time it is Knuckles :wink:

Hahaha …. 100% of the time you're right :wink:

That's not startling …. That was needed. At last the board and Taylor appear to be on the same page as the CEO. It's possible had Pascoe been in the chair a bit earlier, this whole saga could have been avoided. Thankfully, we now have someone who appears capable of working through the complex and difficult issues with a clear head ... Unlike his predecessor.

No one is innocent and as Eddie has said Farah is not without his faults. But we can form our own opinion based on the qualities Farah brings to the team and his performances for his club and NSW. As for your opinion, you’re entitled to express it but the demonstration at Campbelltown suggests many have a very different view.

 

[GNR4LIFE]

I look forward to everyone changing their tune on Pascoe if he approves an immediate release.

"He's doing something I approve of" = He's doing a wonderful job.

 

[Telltails]

For what its worth - I think if Ayoub had his way that Farah would of have been out of there, as soon as he was he was shown the door. Dont expect that any of Ayoubs clients will be encouraged to sign with Tigers anytime soon which is of a concern when Teddys contract is up for negotiation again. Problem is Robbie has resisted because he is clearly attached to the club - and maybe there is a bit of him that thinks he should have be treated better and because of that his decisions have been reactionary.
The fact is the club should have handled it better, but at the time we didnt have a leader and the board should never have left the coach in charge of the situation - especially after his own more than ordinary performance - of course the fans were going to react. Dont believe for a minute that Farah is trying to bring down the club - Ayoub on the other hand - possibly.

For such a big story it's incredibly boring
